Kirstin Harila gunning for Nims Purja's 8000m record

It was not impossible. At 10:40 am today, Norwegian athlete Kristin Harila summited Makalu. It was her sixth 8,000’er in just 29 days, beating out Nirmal Purja’s 31 days in 2019 for the fastest time to summit that many 8,000’ers.

Crazy stuff. It will likely all come down to logistics in the end. Nims had quite a wait getting his last peak otherwise his time would have been even more incredible. If Kristin doesn't have to lobby the Chinese government for a permit the record could be broken. I forget exactly but wasn't Nims delayed nearly a month for his last peak?
